Indicators of the UN Sustainable Development Goals
The 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) were
adopted by the United Nations as part of the 2030 Agenda . Each
of these 17 goals are provided with concrete sub-goals (targets) –
a total of 169 sub-goals – and these are in turn measured by indicators
(currently over 230 indicators ) are monitored.
These indicators are designed to measure progress in
to measure the implementation of the goals – globally, regionally and nationally.
